Quantum computing has long been viewed as a threat to cryptocurrencies, a technology that could one day crack the ...

Quantum computing is not currently an existential threat to Bitcoin, but as capital becomes more institutional and long-term, ...

Charles Edwards warns that quantum computing could depress Bitcoin price below $50,000 if the network does not address ...

According to one of the world’s leading cryptographers, Bitcoin’s elliptic curve could have a secret backdoor, invalidating all underlying security. A Bitcoin public key is created by applying ...

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.

Even if quantum machines capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography are decades away, the work required to update software, ...

We can quibble over the exact timeline, but the quantum future is an approaching certainty, argues Arpa Network CEO Felix Xu.

However, Michael Saylor, the pioneer of BTC corporate treasury, doesn’t share a similar urgency. In fact, he recently noted ...

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all. Recently, Project Eleven (a quantum computing research group) ...

A private key, also known as a secret key, is a cryptographic key that is used to decrypt or digitally sign data. It is a crucial component in asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced cryptographic ...
